    Dear,

    Defining an new Open Core or Open hardware license would be the best
    solution since
    others GPL/LGPL etc .. are focused on 'software'.

    Define two versions:

    a GPL like: so everybody can use and improve etc... And the most
    important reason ... keep 'open hardware development' going on.

    and a LGPL like: the original author can make the 'core' for some
    purpose available under an other
    more restrictive license in which the user is not obligated to
    contribute his own written parts.
    Gaisler Research sells special licenses for Leon to people who would
    like to use Leon as a part of a complete
    system.

    Greatings,

    Patrick Pelgrims
